Private Class Lessons
Looking for one on one instruction? Private classes are great for artists that are interested in developing their skills and advancing them to the next level. These special lessons are especially great for artists who prefer focused one on one instruction or for someone who can’t make it to a scheduled group class. All students who are interested should contact the museum for more information at 954-340-5000 or email museuminfo@coralsprings.org. Please include the times, days, and class subject you are interested in. Let us help create a class just for you! We look forward to developing your next private class experience. Each session is 1hr at $60 per session. Register for as many sessions as you would like.
